A sore back and neck is one of the most common reasons people across York pick up the phone and ask for help. Neck pain alone affects around two out of three of us at some point in our lives, and in most cases it is not serious. It usually eases. The harder question is why it keeps returning, and what you can realistically do about it.

A running injury rarely ends the moment the pain fades. The weeks that follow decide whether you slip back into your old routine or spend the next few months managing the same flare-up on repeat. Getting the first six weeks right matters far more than getting back quickly.

Shoulder pain is a common problem in racket sports and can significantly affect your ability to play padel comfortably. Although padel generally involves less powerful serving than tennis, repeated overhead shots, smashes, volleys and rapid reactions still place considerable demands on the shoulder.

Lower back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems affecting active adults and can be particularly frustrating for people playing racket sports such as padel. Padel places repeated demands on the lower back through rotation, rapid changes of direction, reaching for low balls and repeated overhead shots.
